Dell Latitude 5300 13.3" Compact Business Laptop
A certified refurbished 13.3" Latitude with Intel Core i5 vPro, 16GB memory and 256GB NVMe storage in a compact, travel-friendly chassis. Covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key benefits
-
16GB memory as standard — Double the 8GB that most 13" business laptops of this generation shipped with.
-
Super Low Power display — Dell's SLP panel technology meaningfully extends runtime from the 60Wh battery.
-
Compact 13.3" chassis — Small enough for a shoulder bag and tray table, with a full-size keyboard.
-
Fast NVMe storage — 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD for quick boots and application loads.
-
Camera privacy shutter — A physical sliding cover over the webcam.
-
vPro management — Remote management support for IT-administered fleets.
Performance in use
The Latitude 5300 is Dell's compact business machine — a 13.3" chassis with the durability and serviceability of the larger Latitudes. The quad-core i5-8365U is comfortable with the full range of office work: documents, spreadsheets, email, video calls and heavy browser use.
The two features worth highlighting are the 16GB of memory and the Super Low Power display. 16GB gives real multitasking headroom in a machine this size, and the SLP panel is a genuine battery-life feature rather than a marketing one — paired with a 60Wh battery it comfortably covers a working day of typical use.
At 13.3" this is a machine chosen for portability. If you spend most of your time docked to an external monitor and want maximum screen when undocked, a 14" or 15" model may suit better.

What we check before it is listed
Every machine that comes through our Melbourne workshop is put through the same intake process before it reaches this page. It is not a visual check — each unit is powered up, tested component by component, and the results recorded against its serial number.
-
Hardware scan — processor, memory, storage, display panel, graphics and wireless are all identified and verified against the manufacturer's original factory configuration for that specific serial number, so the specification on this page reflects the machine you receive.
-
Storage health — SMART data is read from the drive, including power-on hours and reallocated sectors. Drives showing early warning signs are replaced rather than listed.
-
Battery condition — measured against design capacity and recorded as a percentage. Grade A units hold 70% or more of original capacity, Grade B between 50% and 70%.
-
Secure data erasure — every drive is wiped to recognised data destruction standards before reimaging. Nothing from the previous owner survives the process.
-
Functional testing — keyboard, trackpad, ports, camera, microphone, speakers, wireless and display are each checked by hand.
-
Cosmetic grading — the chassis, lid, palm rest and screen are inspected under light and graded honestly, with any notable marks recorded.
Anything that fails goes to our repair bench rather than to the shelf. That is why our returns rate sits well below the industry norm for refurbished equipment.
Why buy refurbished from Reboot IT
Reboot IT has been supplying certified refurbished business technology from Melbourne since 2001. Most of what we sell comes out of corporate and government fleets at the end of a lease — machines that were specified for business use, maintained under contract, and retired on a schedule rather than because anything was wrong with them. That is why a refurbished business laptop routinely outlasts a new consumer one at the same price.
Choosing refurbished also keeps working equipment out of landfill. Manufacturing a new laptop accounts for the large majority of its lifetime carbon footprint, so extending the life of an existing machine is one of the more effective decisions an organisation can make on its IT emissions — without asking anyone to accept less capable hardware.
Frequently asked questions
Does it have mobile broadband?
No. This configuration is WWAN-capable but shipped without a modem card fitted, so connectivity is via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or tethering.
Is the display touch?
No. It has a 13.3" FHD WVA anti-glare non-touch panel.
Can the memory and storage be upgraded?
Yes. The Latitude 5300 uses standard SODIMM memory and an M.2 NVMe SSD, both of which can be replaced.
What is included in the box?
The laptop and a compatible power adapter. Original packaging, manuals and accessories are not included unless specifically noted.
How is shipping handled?
Free standard shipping across Australia. Orders placed before 2pm on a business day are typically dispatched the same day from our Melbourne warehouse, with tracking supplied by email.
What testing has it been through?
Every unit is inspected, hardware-tested, data-wiped to recognised standards and reimaged before listing. Battery health, display, ports, keyboard, camera and wireless are all checked as part of intake, and the specification is verified against the manufacturer's factory records for that serial number.
How does the warranty work if something fails?
Contact us directly and our Melbourne team will arrange assessment, repair or replacement. There is no offshore call centre and no third-party administrator between you and the resolution.
Has the previous owner's data been removed?
Yes. Every drive is securely erased to recognised data destruction standards and the operating system freshly reimaged before the machine is listed for sale.
Can schools, businesses and government buy on account?
Yes. We supply schools, government departments and businesses across Australia and can accept purchase orders. Get in touch if you need a quote for volume or a formal PO arrangement.
